Financial Assistance

Financial assistance for AAADD students is provided by:

  • The College waiving the Continuing Education Service Fee
  • The ISBP – Institution-Funded Special Bursary Program
  • The AAADD Bursary

If a student is not eligible or does not apply for financial assistance, they are responsible for the full cost.

THE INSTITUTION-FUNDED SPECIAL BURSARY PROGRAM
The ISBP application is completed once a year, before the fall term. If approved, ISBP will fully cover the fall term and part of the winter term for day students; and will fully cover the fall, the winter, and the spring term for evening students.

Refer to the Fees tables on pages 4 and 5 for the amount of support provided by the College/ISBP in each term.

THE AAADD BURSARY
Applications for the AAADD Bursary are accepted in February of each year. The Bursary assists students who are at risk of not being able to continue their education in AAADD due to financial need. Successful applicants have the value of the bursary applied towards their spring term tuition costs.
The number and the value of the bursaries awarded each year depend upon the amount of money raised in the fall fundraising campaign.
